  • Technical interview was first, over MSTeams. They send a few Jepp charts to study, although these weren't the ones used. They basically give a scenario where you are doing a flight from one place to another under IFR. So they have you copy down a CRAFT clearance (which was a full route) and see how you do with that. They ask you a few regulation questions (definitely know whether you can takeoff and land under part 91 or 135). Ask about hotspots, ask me to brief a SID, how I would fly it. Along the way they ask you some random chart symbology like the MSA, highest obstacle, frequencies, etc. Just know everything about Jepp charts. What would you do if you lost communication in this scenario, can you attempt this approach under 91, what about 135, etc. Good...

    Technical, sim, and HR were exactly as expected. The HR interview was more of a conversation than an interview, and the sim was a departure, an ILS, and a missed approach with a VOR to a hold. Many of us got SIDs and approaches that were not...

    After conference, received email about the interview for the following week. Technical interview was through team video call and it was somewhat similar to the study guide here. I heard back a week after though phone call and scheduled for in-person interview and sim for the following week. Quick HR interview. Sim was exactly what the study guide...

    Technical interview was exactly as described on here. Copy a CRAFT and a simulation flight. Briefing a SID and Approach, then some VFR chart symbology. If you're a CFI you'll do just fine. Study Jepp plates. You'll learn to like them way more than the standard FAA plates. Got a call about a month later for in person interview in Orlando. (view the study guide of this website).  Sim paused and asked how to enter the hold. Some people in my interview group did get a SID and ILS from an...

    The technical interview is very straightforward no tricks. Use the study guide and you will be fine. There was a dinner and presentation for a group of 25 with the HR interview the next day. The HR and pilot recruiting team are just as friendly as everybody says. Just be friendly and show genuine interest in the company. There is also a brief sim evaluation with a SID and approach before the HR interview. The simulator was G1000 and they have GPS failed so you fly only with green needles....

    Absolutely as everyone else had written. Technical interview by MS Teams to go over some Jepp IFR charts/plates, a random airport on a sectional. Got the call for Orlando HR interview and sim a little over a week after the Teams interview. Those were exactly as advertised as well. I got the KMMU departure and ILS as others had. Some in my interview group got the KMTJ2.MTJ and KMTJ ILS...

    Expect an informational session, very in depth explaining all aspects of the position as well as the compensation. Dress code was business casual and dinner was served Several chief pilots and assistant pilots were there. Opportunity to talk with the other pilots and employees was great for networking. Prepare for a longer second day. Dress code is business. Since I completed the technical questions at the WAI conference, I wasn't asked anything technical at the Orlando interview. They will...

    I was called after 2 years of pursing this job. After getting the invite to the Technical interview - I was on a Teams call in 4 days. This is exactly like what everyone else here has written about. What I would add is thisâ?¦ they care about culture here. You have to be more than just an encyclopedia of Jepp knowledge (though that is essential). After this I had to wait an entire month for my in person interview. Very nerve racking but we made it. I was flown down to Orlando (this too is...

    Overall, the interview process was very much as others have described. I completed the technical portion via Teams, and the questions were straightforward. If you review the study guide, you should be well prepared. The HR and simulator portions were held in Orlando. The first evening included a dinner and a company presentation. The following day, they picked us up from the hotel and took us to a flight school, where we completed document review, the HR portion, and the simulator...

    The technical portion was on Teams and honestly pretty straightforward. If you spend time with the study guide, youâ??ll be in a good spot going into it. The in-person portion was in Orlando. The first night was a dinner along with a company presentation, which was a great chance to meet everyone and get a feel for the culture. Everyone was nice and they really want to see how you are as a person and if youâ??re a person they would like flying with for multiple cycles. The next day, they...

    I got an interview a week after attending the WAI conference. The first interview was the technical interview over zoom with a chief pilot. The chief pilot was incredibly nice and professional. The interview was only 20 minutes and covered instrument questions based on the Jeppesen plates provided in an email sent before the interview. I got a TBNT the next day...
